She is Pat but maybe a bit too busy. I've just found an internal organ on the landing floor. She does eat what she catches - if I don't get it first - but always leaves a bit behind.
Hi Pdoc - any better today? Got some sun?

Surviving, thanks Obelixx. Plenty of sun, but very windy. OH finishes her job next week and then has a few interviews, some of them would entail a lot of traveling, so I am not sure whether she shouldn't be waiting a while.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Sorry, yes the prospective jobs, 3-4 hours travelling each day. I feel she needs to be prepared to wait a bit longer, hopefully to find something a bit closer.

pdoc, daughter has been doing nearly four hours travelling each day for nearly twenty years. Leaves home at 5.45am and not home most nights until nearly 8pm. It has taken a toll on her health and Hospital Trust have now agree to let her work a four day 48 hour week.
Home from the coal face and the sun is shining. @Joyce21 "and Hospital Trust have now agree to let her work a four day 48 hour week." That's big of them eh? I'm so glad I'm at the end of my job/career life .
There's a lot to be said for retirement, Hosta... can't see you being one of those folk who sit around all day wondering what to do, once they've retired.
Punkdoc, hope Moira finds something nearer home. That amount of travelling won't be fun in winter.
LG, hope you're having a lovely day doing not very much. Definitely deserved after all that brain work!
I've been working in the park again, doing a bit of archaeology and then some weeding in the fruit garden. It's warm but breezy, so very pleasant conditions to spend a morning outdoors with like-minded people. But now I have to go back into the loft and do some more boring box-shifting...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
When I had a proper job in computing it was normal to work a 10 hour day, or more, to get the job done and meet deadlines but we were well paid, had 5 weeks of holidays and lived only 10 minutes away from the office. Before we moved house it was a minimum 90 minute commute from Blackheath diagonally across London as long as we left before 7am. Exhausting even in my 20s and probably twice as long to do that journey now.
No harm in getting interview experience Pdoc but she definitely needs somewhere closer to home, for her own health as well as yours. Joyce - lots of women and some men work a 4 day week in Belgium so they can do child care on Wednesday which is a half day so kids can go and play sports or follow other interests. They are not, however, expected to pack 5 days' work into those 4 days. Salary adjusted of course but a lot less tress and greater productivity.
Feeling pink and very mucky now. Just spent the best part of 3 hours trundling round on the "tractor" mowing the lawn and ploughing thru mole hills and making dust clouds. They must be having to dig deep to find worms cos some of them had Pennine ambitions with the earth they've displaced. OH usually goes round and collects it up or brushed is out each day but he's been gone a week now and they've been having a laugh in his absence.
I shall go and have a shower and apply lots of cream.
